It was in a live stream. The channel is something like "Mandalorian productions".

Is it somewhere in this video?

Yes, I think he's talking about a picture in a lego catalog about an hour and a half before the end of the stream. It looks very similar to the original UCS Falcon and is on the page with the UCS Death Star 2, ATST, Star Destroyer and TIE Bomber but it's hard to tell.

That's just 10179, not the new MF, obviously.

He's got videos on his YT channel. The TIE fighter seems to be quite small and imo it doesn't look very good unless you look at it from afar.

I just saw that video - opinions on the set aside, it's hard to gauge its size. I'm hoping for a comparison pic with the latest TIE Advanced or TIE Striker - I want to know if it fits in my display cabinet

Just saw this picture at Taiwan local department store, in the mid-bottom section, it clear states that the new MF is coming on Nov 6th.  They obviously used the old MF picture, but the information seems legit.  

Also, there will be a confidential Batman movie D2C set coming on Nov 13th.

Kylo Ren´s Tie Fighter is a bit weak to me, so hopefully the Bomber will be fine, and thanks for the review just2good

Interesting about the Batman D2C and not too sure why they have that date for MF when even Lego have stated its 1st October! Anyway thanks for the info

Nope. That picture is the fake UCS Falcon box created by CM4sci on Reddit/Flickr. He confirmed on Reddit that they used his picture, thinking it was the real thing. Also, the picture in the middle of the top row is his Mall of America MOC, which was also falsely assumed to be real. The real UCS Falcon has an official release date for October 1st, with an official reveal date for September 1st.

I wouldn't trust this as confirmation of a Wayne Manor D2C either, considering the other mistakes.

And this is why we don't like fake info...as it can easily be construed as true, even though most of us know it isn't. The general public though, they do not.

And Wayne Manor will be out same time as the Aluminum Falcon.

People are so desperate for a scoop at the moment. The people who made that poster probably don't care either way.

September 1st can't come soon enough to put this one to bed.

Not Desperate.  I may not even buy the set.  But I really enjoy trying to solve the mystery of what the set will look like based on leaked images or new parts from other sets etc. etc.

I was a general observation. The cockpit piece is an obvious choice and was noted from an early stage. Everything else is complete guesswork, even trying to spot the scale of some sections from a CGId video of parts moving through space. In less than two weeks it'll be revealed and we won't have to guess anything... it'll just be the love it/hate it/best set ever/missed opportunity/buying 3 of them/can't afford one discussion.

Changing the topic from endless Falcon speculation and complaining about pricing... I watched j2g's review of the Resistance Transport Pod, and I actually really want that set now. It's very rare to see a Star Wars set with usable interior space beyond a seat for a minifigure, this one has 2 seats, a spot for BB-8 and the figures' weapons, and additional storage compartments, as well as some nice little hidden away shooting functions. And it even looks really nice.

I would like to see the rest of this particular variant of the Resistance Troop Transporter, though. I thought that was a really cool ship, and here's 1/3 of a different, and apparently much larger, version.

I just watched his review also, and I am extremely excited to see that the Trans-yellow canopy in the set is stickered! For Star Wars fans, that may be a disappointment; but for Classic Space fans, it makes it a set they actually may consider buying from the theme! 

By the way, just2good also has done a review of Kylo's TIE Fighter if anyone is interested.

So I've been told we may get a double VIP event with force Friday though I don't know how much exactly we will get, whether it's x2, x3 or x4. May have been a "no shit" moment for most of you but I really wanted info on this.

[ToaDraco]

I've seen a couple reviews of both the Transport Pod and The Silencer and I have to say I like the Pod more than I thought I would, they really managed to pack as many play features and details in that little thing as they could(albeit with a metric ton of stickers, sheesh that cockpit looks like a nightmare to line everything up) I still love the Silencer but it's best look is from the top or at a downward looking angle as the bottom of the craft is quite flat and plain. It's amazing though that there are only 2 stickers in the entire set! The rest are printed parts or brick built details. I really like the whole center section of the craft, the cockpit section all the way to the back engine outlets, very cool design. I do wish the interior had at least some sort of control stick or control panel, I hate it when LEGO puts out vehicles with no way for the minifigs to drive them. The craft is also a bit on the thin side especially when you look at it head on. It's still a must have for me though. One of the reviewers I watched, MandRproductions started livestreaming the build of the Heavy Assault Walker so we should be seeing a review of that from him pretty soon too. I really look forward to that. You can already see that the cannon on the top of the Walker has a neat little aiming and firing mechanism.

The inevitable discussion you've mentioned above is looming on the horizon like an all-consuming, deja vu-inducing nightmare!  Good thing is, as soon as news of images appears on here, we'll be able to check them out and then never visit this thread again!

An official Store flyer popped up today, reading "the largest LEGO set ever is coming soon".

It seems that you can visit any LEGO store on September 1st to find out what it is. Maybe there is pre-order also.

Amen to that!

[Legoman123]

I should imagine sometime this week there will be a reveal of the MF.  

[Peasantseverywhere]

If anyone is interested, SolidBrixStudios has his hands on the First Order Star Destroyer and has made a lengthy review which is good for seeing the interior details :-)

[DEAD1974]

yes I have seen it ... and it just confirmed that 6211 is the best Star destroyer ever, this one in the review its an easy pass for me.

P.S. the hologram is lame as its the same like Palpatine one

As much as I love 6211, it was flimsy as hell. It is my favourite but it won't pass by modern standards at all.

Looking at the set properly, I'd say this is by far the second best star destroyer ever behind 6211.

I'm really liking everything about the Finalizer except the guns. Is there a way to replace them or simply remove them?
